20+ People Shared What They Found in Their Grandparents’ Attics. Are These Things Even From Our Planet?

Sorting out old stuff doesn’t always have to be boring. For example, George and Betty Davis were cleaning their attic and found a man-shaped figure which was created by Faberge and ordered by Nicholas II of Russia. Later, this figure was sold at an auction for $5.2 million. Of course, not every person’s attic hides some treasure but it is possible to find a lot of other things which may not be as expensive, but quite interesting!

Bright Side has decided to share the most extraordinary discoveries that people made at their grandparents’ houses. At the end of the article, there is a story of an unexpected heritage that everyone who likes the style of the ’40s dreams about.

Bonus: a shoe store

The store was opened by the man’s grandmother who managed it until she got sick and was forced to stop the trade. Unfortunately, the grandparents never decided to open the store again. Many years later, their grandchild decided to check what was in the abandoned room.

Inside, there was a real treasure — shoes. Many of the models still look stylish even today. Fans of ’40s and ’60s fashion and also the people who love Converse and Endicott Johnson would definitely appreciate these shoes.
